Hello, I am new here. As a kid I grew up camping and scouting so I have always enjoyed a good quality knife and just recently I felt the bug to expand my collection. Hopefully I don't loose the house 
Existing collection is around 7 SAK's of various flavors (3 Wengers and 4 Vics) as well as one buck, one schrade, a leatherman micra and maybe 4 or 6 other junk no name knives. EDC rotates.
A bit about my style as a collector (may not be the same as you but different strokes for different folks):
1) My financial situation allows me to buy knives valued at 20 - 80'ish dollars each. For now.
2) I don't have anything in my collection that I would not use. Some are EDC's and some come out for camping trips, being outdoors at the cottage, etc.. I like to use them to see which ones work best and which ones not so best. The only things I would "baby" would be something sentimental like a knife my dad gave me that was once his EDC or a knife my grandpa owned.
3) I am very partial to SAK's.
4) That being said, I jump at the chance to add any knife to the collection, SAK or not. Just bought 2 yesterday. I have a soft spot for anything made in USA, even though I am a proud Canadian.
5) Presently waiting on the mail man to deliver 5 ebay purchases.
6) I do my own hand sharpening on a wet stone. In the process of honing my skills.
In the near future I'm looking to add to my collection:
One or more Vic's with black scales (I have no black ones yet). Probably something Tinker sized.
A Vic Sentinel
Vic Secretary or Pocket Pal
Vic Mini Champ
Vic Swiss Champ
Some more of the minimalist SAK's. Single blade, forget the model number
A couple of Tactical style folders
a couple fixed blades (great for the great outdoors)
Somethings serated (none yet believe it or not)
Looking forward to reading this board and learning a lot.
